There is a driver bug where two queues on the same VkDevice simultaneously
submitting can break some internal synchronization. Until it's fixed, add a
mutex around queuesubmit.
Walk the binding offset back until the distance to the tensor is a
whole number of blocks, so block quantized views get a valid element
offset in the shader.

kernel_mul_mm_id splits its NR1 = 32 token tile into two 16-row halves and skips
the upper half when the expert did not fill it, on both the tensor and simdgroup
paths. The tB extents are corrected to (NK, NR1H) for the [NR1][NK] row-major tile.
The B tile is staged unconditionally, as on master: rows past nr1 restage a clamped
duplicate of a valid row, lie in the output-row dimension so they never contribute
to a valid row, and are dropped by the final store loop.
test-backend-ops: re-draw the expert ids between perf iterations of test_mul_mat_id
so MoE perf numbers are not warm-cache, and add token-tile boundary coverage using
n_used == n_mats, which routes every token to every expert so each expert receives
exactly n rows; n = 32, 33, 47, 48, 49 reach mul_mm_id and leave a last tile of 32,
1, 15, 16 and 17 rows.

This commit introduces a unity build for the models to improve
compilation time.
The improvements were roughly the following:
```console
+------------------------+-----+------------+------------+------------+
| Build | TUs | Frontend | Backend | Total |
+------------------------+-----+------------+------------+------------+
| Full, master | 396 | 811.0 s | 692.2 s | 1,503.2 s |
| Full, with PCH | 405 | 380.0 s | 664.7 s | 1,044.7 s |
| Full, with PCH + UB | 264 | 357.7 s | 635.7 s | 993.4 s |
+------------------------+-----+------------+------------+------------+
TU = Translation Unit.
Full = includes Server, Tools, and Tests.
PCH = precompiled headers.
UB = unity build for models.
```
* docs : update linux profiling table with unitiy build results

* scripts : merge build profile scripts into one script
I was lazy before and just copied the first script to enable Tests,

* Revert "editorconfig : exclude profiling reports dir" [no ci]
This reverts commit 2922a12118.
* src : rename ggml_view_2d_slice to gemma3n_view_2d_slice
This is to be consistent with the rename in gemma4.cpp which was
required to avoid a name clash.
* cmake : add build profile script for windows [no ci]
This commit adds a port of the scripts/build-profile.sh script to
windows powershell.
This was developed on Windows on ARM but should work on X64 as well but
needs to be tested there as well.
* metal : rework fusion patterns into a single table
All fusable op patterns for the Metal backend are now declared once in a
fusion table (ggml-metal-fuse.cpp) and consumed by both the graph optimizer
(ggml_metal_fuse_max, packing) and the op encoders (ggml_metal_fuse_next,
compute). The two phases share the same pattern table plus ggml_can_fuse_subgraph_ext
for the structural checks, and differ only in the mode used for the pattern
check (STRUCTURAL at optimize time, since tensors are not allocated yet, and
FULL at compute time, including Metal buffer placement). This also protects the
snake activation (MUL + SIN + SQR + MUL + ADD) from being reordered during graph
optimization, which was previously unprotected.

* metal : fix absolute output indices in fusion patterns
ggml_can_fuse_subgraph_ext expects the outputs array to contain absolute graph
node indices (it indexes cgraph->nodes[outputs[i]]), but the fusion table query
was passing a relative index (n_ops - 1). As a result the last node of every
pattern was not recognized as an output and was subjected to the elidable
use-count check, which failed for essentially all fusions. This silently
disabled the norm/MUL fusion and caused a ~5% token-generation regression.
Pass the absolute graph index of the last node instead.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : fuse gated_delta_net with cache cpy
Add GGML_METAL_FUSE_GDN_CACHE to the fusion table: when the gated_delta_net
kernel is followed by a cpy that scatters its recurrent state snapshots into
the KV cache, the kernel writes the snapshots straight into the cache buffer
and the trailing cpy is elided.
The gdn output has other consumers (the attn scores view), so unlike the
elision-chain patterns this is not a simple chain: a 'raw' flag on the fusion
pattern skips the generic chain/shape and ggml_can_fuse_subgraph_ext checks,
making the pattern-specific check callback the sole validator. Packing
(ggml_metal_fuse_max) now matches on the same view-transparent node sequence
that the compute phase uses, so the gdn + cache cpy group is packed along with
any intermediate views and stays adjacent through the reorder.
The fused cpy is a view consumer of the gdn (it writes the cache directly),
so its mem-range is skipped in the encoder; the skip is restricted to CPY
nodes consuming the previous fused node through a view so other fusions are
unaffected.
Add test_gated_delta_net_cache_fusion and register 5 cases.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : drop is_view_consumer mem-range skip
The is_view_consumer skip was carried over from the upstream gated_delta_net
cache-fusion draft, but it is not needed: keeping the elided cpy's mem-range in
the concurrency tracker only ever adds a (conservative) memory barrier at the
fusion point. It can never remove a barrier, so it cannot introduce a race. The
worst case is one spurious barrier per gdn+cache-cpy fusion, which is within
run-to-run noise on Qwen3.5-0.8B Q8_0.
Dropping the check keeps the mem-range loop uniform for all fused groups.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : rename gated_delta_net fused state output args
Rename the fused cache-write kernel argument to match the rest of the kargs:
state_out_stride -> nb_out (and widen it to uint64_t), and the local buffer id
bid_state_out -> bid_out.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : rename raw fusion flag to unsafe
raw did not convey that the flag opts a fusion pattern out of the generic
elision-chain safety net (ggml_can_fuse_subgraph_ext + chain/shape checks).
rename it to 'unsafe' to make explicit that the pattern's check callback is the
sole validator and must re-establish the safety guarantees itself.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : tidy fusion pattern checks and table
- const-correct ggml_metal_fuse_outputs buffer
- annotate unused check-callback parameters
- drop a redundant size_t cast
- align the ops/table initializers and add blank-line separation
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* metal : add generic fusion stats via ad-hoc proc-address API
Add a device-owned fusion context that lets a test tool count how many
times each fusion pattern fires and toggle fusion. It is exposed through
the ad-hoc ggml_backend_reg_get_proc_address mechanism with generic names
so the testing tool is backend-agnostic:
- ggml_backend_fusion_stats_init: start collecting fusion stats; when a
context is created afterwards it registers the labels/counters and
encodes single-threaded (n_cb == 0) so the counters are race-free
- ggml_backend_fusion_stats_reset / _get_stats / _set_enabled
The context lives on the metal device (not on the last backend context),
so counters accumulate across contexts and reads are always consistent.
The enable/disable toggle is initialized from GGML_METAL_FUSION_DISABLE
and can be overridden by the test through set_enabled. Labels are
synthesized from the fuse table via ggml_metal_fuse_label (e.g.
"GATED_DELTA_NET+CPY").
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : add fusion count regression test with per-backend baseline
test-fusion runs every dummy model generated by test-llama-archs on a
single backend (single-threaded encoding, n_cb == 0) with fusion enabled
and disabled, and for each mode (prefill / decode) reports the per-fusion
counters and the NMSE between the fused and unfused logits, plus the NMSE
against a CPU reference.
A fusion pattern that silently stops matching (or fires when it should
not) is caught as a regression by comparing the counters against a
committed per-backend TSV baseline:
- --record writes the golden baseline, --check (default) validates it
- the unfused run doubles as a control: its counters must be all-zero
- NMSE is skipped when it is NaN or the arch is already broken on the
device (e.g. plamo2 on Metal), so the count check is the hard gate
- baseline counts depend only on graph structure, not weights (verified
stable across weight seeds)
- the fusion stats API is resolved through the ad-hoc get_proc_address
mechanism with generic names; a backend that does not export it makes
the test fail with an error
The committed MTL0.tsv baseline covers 110 dummy archs (298 rows).
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : rename fusion api helpers to match stats_init signature
Align the test with the ad-hoc fusion stats API: fusion_stats_init no
longer takes an enable bool (stats are turned on by calling it), so the
proc-address wrappers and typedefs are renamed to the api_* convention.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : rename backend to device in fusion test CLI
The fusion test operates on a compute device (e.g. MTL0), not a backend,
so rename the --backend argument to --device and the backend_name
variable to device_name. Keep "backend" where it refers to the ggml
backend interface (the ad-hoc proc-address mechanism).
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : add --model and --help to fusion test
--model FILE runs the fusion regression test over a single model file
instead of enumerating a --models DIR. --models and --model are mutually
exclusive. Also add a --help/-h option that prints the usage.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : use backend base name for fusion baseline output
The fusion test is invoked with a specific device name (e.g. MTL0), but
its output - the recorded baseline and the header it writes - should be
named after the backend base name (e.g. MTL, via ggml_backend_reg_name),
since the counters depend on the backend, not on the specific device
index. Rename the committed baseline to MTL.tsv.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : run fusion test from ci instead of ctest
The fusion test needs Metal and generates a lot of dummy models, so it
does not belong in the generic ctest suite. Move it to ci/run.sh as
gg_run_test_fusion, gated on GG_BUILD_METAL like
gg_run_test_llama_archs_tensor_split: it generates the dummy models with
test-llama-archs -o and then validates the fusion counts against the
committed baseline. test-fusion.cpp is still built (llama_build) but no
longer registered as a ctest.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : align fusion baseline TSV columns
Pad the TSV fields to fixed widths so the columns line up regardless of
the variable arch and fusion-label lengths, and trim each field on parse
so the padded file is still accepted. Regenerate the committed MTL.tsv
baseline in the padded format (data unchanged, verified identical modulo
padding).
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : widen label column and align fusion TSV header
Give the label column more room (28 chars) and fix the column header
widths so they match the data rows (moe/mode/label), keeping the header
aligned with the values. Regenerate the MTL.tsv baseline in the new
format (data unchanged).
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : switch fusion baseline from TSV to CSV
Use comma-separated values like the rest of the project, keeping the
padded, aligned columns. Split on ',' and trim on parse. Rename the
committed baseline to MTL.csv (data unchanged, verified identical modulo
padding/separator). Update the ci/run.sh check path accordingly.

* tests : avoid graph reallocations for some archs
* metal : tidy fusion debugging context and op init

Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* tests : dedup fusion baseline into any mode
prefill and decode always produce the same per-graph fusion count, so
store a single row per label with mode = "any" and the per-graph count
instead of two rows. this halves the baseline size and keeps the check
stable.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-0731
* ci : move fusion model generation to a separate step
the dummy models generated by test-llama-archs are reused by other tests,
so generate them once in their own step instead of inside test_fusion.

* tests : bump nmse thold
* models : fix plamo2 graph
* tests : remove "skip" logic from test-fusion
* tests : set qwen3tts dummy vocab to codec head size
the dummy qwen3tts model used a vocab of 4096 while the codec head is
3072, so the graph padded the output with -inf which made the NMSE in
test-fusion produce NaN. use the exact codec head size instead so the
padding is not generated at all.

* metal : fix idle threads in the remaining iq mul_mv kernels for ne00 < 1024
Generalize the row split from #28086 to the six other kernels that use the
same lane-to-block mapping: iq1_s, iq1_m, iq2_xxs, iq2_xs, iq2_s and iq3_s.
Each of them assigns one 32-element chunk per thread, so when a row has
fewer than 32 chunks the rest of the simdgroup is idle. When nb32 < 32 and
nb32 divides 32, 32/nb32 threads now share each chunk and each takes a
slice of the rows, reusing the FC_mul_mv_split function constant and the
dispatch wrapper introduced for iq3_xxs.
The plain path is untouched: wide matrices keep one thread per chunk and
N_R0_<TYPE> = 4. Only the split path uses N_R0_<TYPE>_SPLIT = 8. The
K-quants have the same idle-thread issue but a different lane mapping, so
they are left for a separate change.
* metal : offset the src0 row pointer once in the iq mul_mv kernels
q2, dh, sc, qh and signs are all derived from xr, so the row slice
offset only has to be applied to xr.
* metal : fold iq mul_mv row split into offset0
Compute row0 and row1 before initializing the source pointers and apply
the row slice directly to offset0.
This keeps x and its derived pointers on the existing path while applying
the split row offset once.

argsort had a data race in the inner loop, which VVL caught. But I don't think
this was causing failures in practice.
argsort_large has OOB accesses which might explain the failures in CI, but I
couldn't reproduce it locally and I don't think it's a convincing explanation
of the failures.
* vulkan: optimize m=1 mul_mat by swapping A/B
* vulkan: Improve small M perf
Allow split_k with small M.
Make small vs med tile selection (for coopmat2) depend on M, not just N.
The Imagination proprietary Vulkan compiler returns VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN from
vkCreateComputePipelines for every dequant mul_mat_vec shader built with the
subgroup-only reduction that requires a subgroup size >= 16. That covers the
k-quants, the i-quants, TQ2_0, MXFP4 and NVFP4. ggml rethrows, so the first
generated token of any such model kills the process.
Reproduced on a Pixel 11 Pro (PowerVR C-Series CXTP-48-1536 MC1, driver
1.662.3024, subgroup size 128, min 32, max 128). The failure is independent of
subgroup size: 32, 64 and 128 all fail, as does dropping the full-subgroups
flag and the required-subgroup-size pNext. The legacy quants, which use the
plain subgroup reduction, compile and run fine.
The shared-memory reduction variant compiles and matches the CPU reference for
q2_K, q3_K, q4_K, q5_K and q6_K. The hybrid variant also compiles but costs
27% of token throughput (3.78 vs 5.20 t/s on Qwen3.5-2B-Q4_K_M).

* vulkan iq4_xs: remove dead n_it unroll branch
Remove the n_it <= 8 experimental branch that attempted to fully unroll
the block loop. Since n_it is a runtime value, [[unroll]] is ignored by
the compiler, making both branches equivalent. Kept the simple loop
matching mul_mat_vec_iq3_s.comp.
* metal : fix half-idle simdgroup in kernel_mul_mv_iq3_xxs_f32 for ne00 < 1024
* metal : keep N_R0_IQ3_XXS = 4, dispatch a separate 8-row split kernel for ne00/32 < 32
The plain kernel is unchanged from master (4 rows per simdgroup, one thread per
chunk). The row-split mapping now lives in a separate kernel_mul_mv_iq3_xxs_f32_split
instantiation with N_R0_IQ3_XXS_SPLIT = 8, and the host selects it only when
ne00/32 < 32 and divides 32, so wide matrices keep the master kernel bit for bit.

* vulkan : fuse UNARY(GELU|SIGMOID|SILU|SOFTPLUS) + MUL
1. GELU: gelu_mul_f32/f16 pipelines registered, CREATE_UNARY_MUL(gelu), GELU in dispatch + fuse gate + perf fusion name
2. Renamed/moved: gate is now ggml_vk_can_fuse_unary_mul(cgraph, unary_idx, mul_idx), placed with the other can-fuse helpers
3. norepeat both variants: each op gets plain (spec {0}) + _norepeat (spec {1}) pipelines from the same SPIR-V, selected via ggml_are_same_shape(src0, src1); the shape gate now allows broadcast (other dims equal-or-1)
4. graph_optimize: lambda deleted; standard "// UNARY + MUL: pull the consuming MUL forward" block added alongside the SSM_CONV/ROPE/MUL_MAT reorderings, with the same "other src must be weights or already processed" readiness check
* vulkan : align unary_mul fusion with binary kernel layout, relax gelu test tolerance
- schedule the fused kernel like mul.comp (256 threads x 2 unrolled
iterations), recovering a 10-18% prompt-processing regression
- allow 5e-7 f32 error for gelu_mul: the shader evaluates gelu with an
exp-based tanh identity while the CPU reference uses tanhf (~1 ulp)
* vulkan : use ggml_can_repeat in UNARY+MUL fusion shape check
The fused kernel indexes src1 via per-dim fastmod (generic_binary_head.glsl),
which is exact whenever the other operand tiles into the unary result -- not
just when its dims are equal or 1. Replace the hand-rolled loop with
ggml_can_repeat(other, unary) so the check matches the kernel's actual
capability and reuses the standard helper. Argument order matters: reversed,
it would wrongly admit graphs where the unary result is mul->src[1] and the
other operand is larger, producing truncated output.
Also add a rep_ne0 layout to the fused unary+mul backend tests covering a
non-1 repeat factor along dim 0.
* vulkan : fuse UNARY+MUL pairs separated by zero-compute nodes
gemma4's per-layer embedding gating builds gelu -> view_2d_slice -> mul,
where the intervening view is a zero-compute node aliasing an input that
was computed much earlier. Strict adjacency requirements meant neither
CUDA nor the vulkan unary+mul fusion handled this pattern.
Extend ggml_vk_graph_optimize to detect a UNARY whose consuming MUL is
separated only by unscheduled zero-compute nodes (GGML_OP_NONE, VIEW,
RESHAPE, TRANSPOSE, PERMUTE) and schedule those nodes ahead of the pair,
making it adjacent so the existing fusion applies. The reorder is guarded
by ggml_vk_can_fuse_unary_mul, a source-availability check for every
interleaved node, and the protected fusion patterns (topk_moe*, snake);
if fusion is later rejected the reordered graph still executes correctly,
just unfused.
Add a view_mid layout to the fused unary+mul backend tests replicating
the gemma4 pattern.
* vulkan : support OP-on-B in UNARY+MUL fusion
Some models apply the unary activation to the smaller MUL operand, e.g.
qwen3next/qwen35moe shared-expert gating builds ffn_shexp * sigmoid(gate)
with a [1,n_tokens] gate tensor. This shape was correctly rejected before:
the fused kernel derives its iteration extent from the unary tensor and
would leave most of the destination unwritten, and the generic same-shape
requirement in ggml_can_fuse blocked the pair outright.
Add UNARY_MUL_B_FUSION shader variants computing dst = src0 * OP(src1):
the OP operand rides the existing per-dim fastmod indexing, while the
iteration extent now comes from mul. Route {UNARY, MUL} pairs through a
local can-fuse variant that drops the generic same-shape rule and instead
requires the unary result to tile into mul->src[0] (ggml_can_repeat);
pairs with the unary as src0 keep the previous direction check, and
equal-shape pairs keep using the original pipelines.
Add a "gate" layout to the fused unary+mul backend tests covering the
shared-expert gate shape for gelu/sigmoid/silu/softplus in f32 and f16.
* vulkan : fold unary+mul view-hoisting into graph_optimize dep checks
Replace the dedicated UNARY + EMPTY* + MUL scanning block with two small
extensions to the existing scheduling logic:
- a consuming MUL may now join its in-set UNARY across a gap of unused
zero-compute nodes (NONE/VIEW/RESHAPE/TRANSPOSE/PERMUTE), instead of
requiring strict adjacency
- while doing so, such zero-compute blockers are ignored for this pair
Fusion validity is still decided later by ggml_vk_can_fuse at dispatch
time, so a rejected pair simply executes adjacent-but-unfused. Note the
relaxation must stay scoped to this pattern: exempting zero-compute
blockers globally reproduces silent output corruption on gemma3n.
* vulkan : select unary_mul OP-on-B via specialization constant
Replace the UNARY_MUL_B_FUSION compile-time shader variants with an
op_on_b specialization constant on the existing unary_mul SPIR-V,
mirroring how the norepeat flag is handled. The four {op}_mul_b_{f32,f16}
shader artifacts are gone - the OP-on-B pipelines reuse the base SPIR-V
with two-entry {norepeat, op_on_b} spec lists - and the duplicated store
expression is collapsed into a single runtime branch that the driver
prunes per specialization.
The constant is declared only under UNARY_MUL_FUSION so every other
binary pipeline keeps its single-entry specialization list.
* vulkan : replace unary_mul pipeline switches with a lookup table
Collapse the four nested selection switches in ggml_vk_unary_mul into a
single indexed lookup against a pipeline_unary_mul[4][2][2][2] table
([unary op][f16][norepeat][op_on_b]), whose trailing dims mirror the
{norepeat, op_on_b} spec constant list. The op axis uses a small shared
index helper that also replaces the switch in ggml_vk_can_fuse_unary_mul,
making it the only place that maps ops to the table.
Pipeline names are unchanged. Adding another supported op now requires
one macro invocation line and one helper case instead of edits in four
separate switches.
* vulkan : use ggml_can_fuse_subgraph for unary_mul pairs
Replace the hand-rolled pair validation in ggml_vk_can_fuse_unary_mul_pair
(bounds, op match, compute flags, single-use elision) with the shared
ggml_can_fuse_subgraph helper; backend-specific shape/type rules remain in
ggml_vk_can_fuse_unary_mul. Unlike ggml_can_fuse, the subgraph helper has
no same-shape requirement, so it covers both operand slots including
OP-on-B gates, and additionally rejects intermediates flagged as graph
outputs and validates view-source confinement.
The outputs parameter takes absolute node indices into the cgraph.
* Fix Whitespace
* vulkan : drop redundant unary_mul gap check in graph_optimize
The zero-compute nodes separating a UNARY from its consuming MUL are
already scheduled ahead of the pair by pass 2 of an earlier
optimization window, so the scoped gap tolerance added for this pattern
is unreachable in practice - disabling it leaves gemma-3n dispatch
counts unchanged (841 GELU_MUL per pass). Remove the flag, the empty
blocker exemption, and the now-unused gap helper, restoring the strict
adjacency requirement of the UNARY -> MUL pull-forward.
Keep the relaxation scoped out entirely: generalizing "zero-compute
nodes never block" beyond this pattern previously reproduced silent
output corruption on gemma3n.
* vulkan: fix whitespace (tab in indent)
* vulkan: fix whitespace (extra blank line)
* vulkan : move op_on_b spec constant to unary.comp
op_on_b is only used by the fused unary*mul path. Keep
generic_binary_head.glsl generic by defining it in unary.comp
instead. Same constant_id=1 and guard, no functional change.
* vulkan : make RMS_NORM/UNARY fusion gap-tolerant for views
Strict j==c+1 blocked RMS_NORM->MUL and UNARY->MUL when a
VIEW sits between (e.g. rms_norm -> view -> mul). Allow
c==back() with an empty-or-scheduled gap, matching the
review suggestion to check src linkage instead of adjacency.
Scoped to the two blessed pairs; safe because gaps can only
contain zero-compute nodes.
* vulkan : trim comments in UNARY+MUL fusion

On 32-bit platforms, Vulkan non-dispatchable handles such as VkBuffer are
represented as uint64_t, and Vulkan-Hpp disables implicit conversions for
type safety. This exposes two issues in ggml-vulkan:
1. vk::Buffer is streamed directly into std::ostream in debug/memory logs.
2. vk::Buffer is cast to VkBuffer before being passed to Vulkan-Hpp
CommandBuffer::copyBuffer APIs.
Fix these by add the operator<< for vk::Buffer, and
by passing vk::Buffer directly to Vulkan-Hpp copyBuffer calls.
